Walpole, New Hampshire, is an absolutely lovely little town, but you probably wouldn’t think of it as the kind of place that would attract a French-trained, internationally awarded chocolatier. L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates proves that assumption wrong – this amazing chocolate empire is headquartered right in downtown Walpole, and all of the chocolates and pastries are produced right here in New Hampshire.

Given L.A. Burdick's fame in some of the biggest cities in the country, few realize that the business's home base is humble Walpole, New Hampshire. Larry Burdick, who studied chocolate-making in France and Switzerland, started the business in New York City in 1987 but moved it to Walpole just four years later. It's since expanded to four additional city locations, but Walpole remains the center of it all.
